Who Works – Here’s an interesting chart showing who is in the workforce and who is not.

Gospel Coalition Livestream – The Gospel Coalition conference begins today. You can follow it live online. I’m down here in Orlando for the next few days taking it all in.

Rick Warren – You may have heard the sad news that Rick Warren’s son took his own life a few days ago. USA Today covers the story and says that “thousands are responding to Pastor Rick Warren’s grief with compassion but others use the moment to attack him and his Christian message.”

Edith Schaeffer – The New York Times has a lengthy obituary for Edith Schaeffer.
